🎶 “Casket Love (Pt. 1 & Pt. 2)”
[Intro – soft, spoken]
Yeah…
You said it was her fault…
But I was five…
I ain’t understand none of that…
⸻
[Verse 1 – melodic, emotional]
You walked out and closed the door
I was standin’ on that floor
Too young to even know
What you leavin’ me for
Mama cried, I heard it all
Through the walls, down the hall
Tryna act like I was strong
But I felt it in my soul
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You said she the reason why you gone
But I needed you along
How you leave me on my own
When I’m barely even grown
⸻
[Chorus]
That’s that casket love, cold and quiet
Say you care but never show it
Left me fightin’ through the silence
Now my heart don’t even open
I been dealin’ with the pain
Tryna smile through the rain
But it never feel the same
That’s that casket love
⸻
[Verse 2 – more intensity]
Birthdays came, you never showed
I was wishin’, blowin’ smoke
Every candle, every year
I was hopin’ you was near
Teacher askin’ where you at
I ain’t know how to react
So I lied and said you busy
But the truth, you ain’t come back
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to understand
But I needed both your hands
Now I question who I am
‘Cause you left me where I stand
⸻
[Chorus]
That’s that casket love, cold and quiet
Say you care but never show it
Left me fightin’ through the silence
Now my heart don’t even open
I been dealin’ with the pain
Tryna smile through the rain
But it never feel the same
That’s that casket love
⸻
[Rap Verse – Part 1 – reflective]
Look—
You was supposed to teach me what a father do
Now I’m growin’ up not knowin’ what to call the truth
Every man I meet, I question what they offer too
‘Cause the first one I trusted disappeared without a clue
You said it was my mama, put the blame on her
But I was just a kid, I felt the same hurt
I needed both sides, not a broken picture
Now I’m carryin’ this weight, tryna hold it together
⸻
[Rap Verse – Part 2 – more emotional/strong]
And it turned me to somebody I don’t recognize
Trust issues, I see it in my own eyes
I push love away ‘fore it get too close
‘Cause I’m scared they gon’ leave me like you did the most
Still a part of me want answers, want you to care
Like why you wasn’t there? why you never there?
I ain’t perfect, but I’m standin’ on my own now
Turned that pain into a voice, let it out now
⸻
[Bridge – softer, healing tone]
I been tryna let it go
But it’s hard when you don’t know
What it’s like to need someone
Who just leaves and never comes
⸻
[Outro – quiet, reflective]
Yeah…
That’s that casket love…
Still learnin’ how to feel again…
